Vegans, in addition to being vegetarians, also abstain from dairy and milk products. So that means only leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grain products, tofu, and soy. Simply put, it means pizza without cheese, pancakes with tofu and milkshakes without..oops! no, milkshakes, actually!

The success of the white revolution is credited to one man, Dr. Verghese Kurien. This man took India from being a milk deficient nation to becoming the world’s largest producer of milk. In the year 2010-2011 India accounted for 17% of the world’s total milk production. Dairy farming...

Right now the world of food has been on the watch for some bizarre activities. Along with the Maggi ban and the different brands persecuted for their quality concerns, some interesting and vaguely amusing but horrifying news has been making rounds.

The US FDA reportedly found high levels of pesticides, mold and bacteria in the Indian products. Most of the snacks rejected this year were manufactured by Haldirams, a popular Indian food brand. The US report mentioned products manufactured by Haldirams, especially, cookies, wafers and biscuits are “filthy, putrid or...

Blacklisting of the Indian versions of the biggest companies of the world is quite humiliating, isn’t it? The league of blacklisting and banning has already started with the infamous controversy over Maggi noodles.

Controversy is a part and parcel of our lives. Apparently, for controversy to survive we need bans. And the more, the better. We reconnoiter the most unlikely foods (to be) outlawed across the world/India. Ketchup is no “kool”. France has an allergy for all things American. So, when the...

Stringy, aromatic, filling, the only thing that has the power to shoo away my Monday blues is a meal of Maggi noodles that I can slurp out of a hot and steaming bowl. This go-to snack has been the ultimate snack for people coming from all ages, sizes and...

The mouth-watering aroma of our favorite go-to snack, however, is under the threat of being banned in India. The Lucknow Food Safety and Drug Administration has written to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), urging the board to cancel Maggi’s license.

A two-day festival to cherish the uncultivated forest food was held for the first time at Sri Aurobindo Centre for Arts and Communication. Tribes from Orissa, Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan presented a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs and spices straight from the jungles.

So now we will soon have a chain of another lip-smacking, butt-enlarging burger provider throughout India. Burger King sure claims to add to our gustatory pleasures, but what about our health? Ugh!! It’s not their problem. You have to deal with all the after-effects like obesity and high cholesterol.

If there is one thing that most Indians love unconditionally, it is sweets. From guilty indulgences to symbols of celebration, sweets are a personal favourite of almost the entire country. With the advent of globalization on our perch we have also started evolving and experimenting with our tastes. It...

If you have issues with your appearances, I would strongly advice against going to Hauz Khas Village on a Saturday evening–beautiful women with bodies suitable to be on the cover of magazines walk around with tall in-shape men. This obviously didn’t sit well with me at 5 and half...

Gone are the days when people—celebrities included—shared selfies on the social networking site Instagram. Well they still do but it’s not the in thing anymore; instead it’s pictures of drool worthy food that steal the spotlight. So here is a list of celebrities that you must follow for sure.

They say food is a necessity, but good food is a total must-have. In a multicultural nation like India it is important to get familiar with all the regional cuisines. Coming from the “Marathi manoos”, Maharashtrian food is something where there is an abundance in diversity, from the “Kolhapuri”...

You can’t live on planet earth and not have heard of Hard Rock Cafe’s legendary burgers. And it helps that their bestselling burger is indeed called the Legendary Burger (no points for subtlety here) In the second edition of Delhi’s best burgers we’re putting to test burgers with a...

Dining at Meherchand Market has made me take a few things for granted, i.e. lunching ladies, lots of couture, surprising food and no parking space on most days. So for our meal at Café 88 we came armed in our best shoes, a car with a short turning radius...

We’re celebrating the start of April for two reasons — lots of birthdays and lots of new summer menus! We’re completely digging the fruit in our salads and the chill in our desserts. And what a way to kick start the season, with the Restaurant week in tow, we...

We all eat from different food and beverage joints. It can be from well-reputed restaurants or cafes or at times local street vendors. It doesn’t matter who we are, we all have been worried about the hygiene and after effects of the food we consume. Most of us usually...

So here’s a few things that are likely to put you off even before you read this article. So am going to state it all up front and then we’ll get to the good part; Mall restaurant, international chain, no happy hours or ladies nights. Now that, that...

Delhi may not have a beach or even a Goan sausage worth of sand, but what it lacks in geography it makes up in spirit. We dined at Saket’s newest concept restaurant- Bora Bora Tiki Bar, to get a little dose of the island culture

Obesity has always been a problem among teenagers, thanks to the food joints at every corner of the city. However, according to research, obesity rates in the United States of America are amid the highest in the world. In 2010, 35.7 percent of the adult population and 17...

I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts. -Graham Kerr
